Musings of an American expat in Bulgaria (with detours in Utah and Alaska)

Scavenger Hunt Sunday

I had a blast coming up with ideas for last weeks prompts, and while I did not have as much time this week to devote to “the hunt,” (had to hit up my archives for most of my prompts) I had fun nonetheless, and I definitely think this exercise is helping to improve my creativity and photography skills. It’s fun going back through old photos and seeing how my style has developed.

Here we go!

1: FOOD

A delicious crab leg dinner courtesy of my awesome supervisor, K., in Alaska. Crab legs have got to be one of my most favorite foods of all time!

2: PURPLE

Well. Salt Lake City got its first big snowfall of the season this weekend. I happened to be babysitting again and we all know a 6-year old can’t resist that white, powdery stuff! So, we bundled up and headed outside for some wintery fun!

3: IN DISGUISE

Fall is disguised as winter these days here in Utah! I don’t think all the flowers got the memo and were blindsided by the chilly weather this weekend.

4: SHAPES

Red Fort, Old Delhi, India–The Diwan-i-Khas, a large area once used for imperial audiences, is a pavilion clad completely in marble, the pillars are decorated with floral carvings and inlay work with many semi-precious stones. The Red Fort is where Mughal emperor Shah Jahan (builder of the Taj Mahal) was imprisoned until his death.

I have been spending a lot of time lately going through my travel photo archive, and have begun to wade through the hundreds of photos I took in India. I honestly could have done this entire scavenger hunt with photos I took while there, but I thought I would contain myself and only do a couple! I am working on getting them organized and uploaded to my Flickr feed, so stay tuned!

5: PHOTOGRAPHER’S CHOICE

Another photo taken at Red Fort in India. It’s one of my favorites from the entire trip.

Yeah, I know… 3 archive photos this week. Not exactly following the rules. In my defense, the snow had me a little depressed and not really in the mood to do anything other than lay about under warm blankets watching movies!

Thanks, Ames! Isn’t she getting so big? We all sat on the couch this weekend and looked tons of her baby pics on my computer (I have clearly been the crazy photographer documenting her entire life!). Sherie said it makes her want to have another baby!

Hello there!

I'm Whitney...an American gal married to a Bulgarian gent living an adventurous life outside of little Trapper Creek, Alaska. Here on GMB I write about the good, the bad, and the funny that come along with a life of continued wanderlust. I'm addicted to travel, photography, crafting, eating good food, and spending time with my adorable hubs. All of these topics (and more!) are frequently featured, so...pull up a chair and stay awhile! I would love to get to know you!

PLEASE link with love! If you like something I've said and want to mention it on your own blog, please just remember to link back to my site. If you want to use a photo of mine (and it isn't for profit--which I do not allow), email me first. Thanks!
